Write code more efficiently by using generative AI to suggest code while you're developing.
Usage of GitLab Duo Code Suggestions is governed by the [GitLab Testing Agreement](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/legal/testing-agreement/).
Learn about [data usage when using Code Suggestions](index.md#code-suggestions-data-usage).
## Enable Code Suggestions
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/121079) in GitLab 16.1 as [Beta](../../../../policy/experiment-beta-support.md#beta).
You can enable Code Suggestions for an individual or group:
- [Enable Code Suggestions for all group members](../../../group/manage.md#enable-code-suggestions). (You must be a group owner).
- [Enable Code Suggestions for your own account](../../../profile/preferences.md#enable-code-suggestions).
The group setting takes precedence over the user setting.
## Use Code Suggestions
Prerequisites:
- Ensure Code Suggestions is enabled for your user and group.
- You must have installed and configured a [supported IDE editor extension](index.md#supported-editor-extensions).
To use Code Suggestions:
1. Author your code. As you type, suggestions are displayed. Depending on the cursor position, the extension either:
- Provides entire code snippets, like generating functions.
- Completes the current line.
1. To accept a suggestion, press <kbd>Tab</kbd>.
Suggestions are best when writing new code. Editing existing functions or 'fill in the middle' of a function may not perform as expected.
GitLab is making improvements to the Code Suggestions to improve the quality. AI is non-deterministic, so you may not get the same suggestion every time with the same input.
This feature is currently in [Beta](../../../../policy/experiment-beta-support.md#beta).
Code Suggestions depends on both Google Vertex AI Codey APIs and the GitLab Code Suggestions service. We have built this feature to gracefully degrade and have controls in place to allow us to
mitigate abuse or misuse. GitLab may disable this feature for any or all customers at any time at our discretion.
